All clubs to try and find a
volunteer secretary, publicity, junior and senior development
officers.

City, Tigers, Vikings (clubs with
junior sections) to organise junior tournament days in rotation
with adhoc teams if necessary – Vikings hosted a tournament
attended by Tigers, City and Milton Road. See junior development
officer's report below.

All clubs to help Lions with
recruitment. Recruitment by word of mouth is successful –
every member of every club please see if you know of anyone,
perhaps who you work with, who lives in the Ely/Littleport area
who might be interested in taking up korfball with Lions –
Vikings sent along 1 person.

All clubs to consider issues with
Development Teams for next meeting – see agenda item below.

Season over - Happy to hear
feedback for next year whilst fresh in people's minds.

Feedback at the meeting was that
fixtures at bank holiday weekends should be avoided.

RESULTS:

Nothing to report.

SENIOR DEVELOPMENT (Vacant):

JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT:

Andy Dunlop (Vikings)
has very kindly organised two mini tournaments for all age groups
on the next 2 Sundays. Hall bookings seem to be easier in Ely.

Frank asked me to run
National Youth Day about 4 weeks ago. I have done some ringing
round but have been unable to secure a booking, so Cambridge are
off the hook.

I plan to hold a
junior forum soon for all involved in Cambs juniors to make some
plans for next season.

REFEREEING:

Nothing to report.

DEVELOPMENT
PLAN PROGRESS

Junior

- organise tournament days with
adhoc teams if necessary. Clubs with junior sections to do this in
rotation. Vikings hosted a tournament attended by Tigers, City and
Milton Road. See junior development officer's report above.

- junior development sub-committee
– junior forum planned.- junior league – 2009/10
started, but not completed. Not run in 2010/11.

- actively work to create new
clubs – Finding hall time and volunteers to help start this
is an issue. Starting a club is difficult so it's vital that clubs
don't fold. Lions could do with help with recruitment. Please can
all clubs help out with this.- expand the geographic base of
the CKA – new club needs to be in a new area. - coaching
courses – Level 1 course run.

It's
the last bank holiday weekend in May and all profits are going to
Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT). We believe we are yet to hear from the
Cambridge clubs!!!

DEVELOPMENT TEAM ISSUES

New
players can get demoralised when playing against experienced
players. It is expected that experienced players will play in the
spirit of development and help to develop new players. Clubs
should be policing this.

4.
HSKL MULTI-GAME VENUE (MGV)

The
EKA have asked if we'd like to 'bid' to host one of these events.
It was decided that the CKA will decline to due the lack of a
suitable venue.

5.
PROPOSAL TO CHANGE THE STATUS RULES

Lions put forward a proposal for
discussion – see below.

Whilst
it was agreed that exploiting the status rules and trying to gain
maximum advantage within them was undesirable, there was not much
support for a radical change to the existing status rules.
Restricting players playing up does not make sense. Naming of team
lists is undesirable. The existing rules are based upon what
actually happens – matches played – rather than
subjective team lists. It was suggested that consideration be
given to refine the existing rules.

6.
SERL 2011/12

Draft rules were circulated for
feedback. A meeting of the 4 areas is planned, but no date has
been set yet.

It looks likely that the same CKA
teams will enter.

Shot clock OK for SERL 1, but not
SERL 2. Who will operate the shot clock ? Want to avoid someone
having to travel to operate the shot clock.

All
Division 1 matches should be refereed by a 'Q' Level Referee (EKA
practically assessed) whenever possible.Division 1 Referees
should be paid £15 per matchDivision 2 Referees should
be paid £12.50 per matchDivision 3 Referees should be
paid £10 per match

Clubs to think
about this for the AGM – refereeing qualifications and fees
are in the CKL rules.

All
clubs

PROPOSAL
TO CHANGE THE STATUS RULES:

Over
the last couple of years clubs have outgrown the current status
rules, therefore an update or change is needed. The proposed rules
are supposed to be designed to allow players to play up and down
but with a few restrictions. It should prevent a player from
playing in a clubs 4th/5th team one game and then playing in the
1st team the next however it still allows a player to progress
during the season. We have not included SERL teams/players in the
rules as this is a separate league to the CKA so any player would
be eligible to play for these teams without any restrictions to
the CKA teams.

chooses to become a Development team this decision is final and
